PJs For The Cure *GIVEAWAY*

Did you know that November is National Diabetes Awareness Month? What about the fact that each year, more than 15,000 children are diagnosed with juvenile diabetes? That's a pretty scary statistic, especially if you're the parent of one of those children. My family has been impacted by diabetes greatly, although the adult onset variety. But my best friend in junior high school had juvenile diabetes and I remember watching her give herself insulin shots all the time and she had to be so careful about what she ate.

Tomorrow, November 14th, is recognized as World Diabetes Day. Do you understand what diabetes is? Diabetes "prevents a person's pancreas from producing insulin, a hormone that enables your body to get energy from food. Difficult to manage, Diabetes requires constant monitoring and influences many aspects of daily life." That doesn't sound like much fun, does it? Wouldn't you like to do something to help find a cure?

Sleepwear manufacturer, Komar, wants to make it fun to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). How are they doing this? With their non-profit foundation PJs For The Cure. When you purchase pajamas through this foundation 100% of the profits go to benefit JDRF. They make both women's and children's styles and these pajamas make perfect holiday gifts this chilly winter season. Komar has a BIG goal to donate $1 million to JDRF so every sale helps!

PJs For The Cure has a Facebook page. I encourage you to check it out and "like" it if you actually like it. Just click on the image below to visit:

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Komar and PJs For The Cure and received a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate. They also provided me with information for this post (quotes in post come from their information) and will be providing the PJs for the giveaway winner.
